Better Ways to Read the Bible by Zach W. Lambert
"This book was absolutely liberating and lovely. It posits that there is a middle ground between the traditional readings and completely tossing the Bible out the window, and as someone who’s been deconstructing this is amazing. Fantastic and a must r" Read more of this review »

Better Ways to Read the Bible by Zach W. Lambert
"Excellent read. I have read a vast number of books in the deconstructing Christianity space. I took a break because I had landed in a good spot and a lot of the books were along similar lines.

After a two year break from theology books, I decided to r" Read more of this review »

With a combination of prophetic fire and pastoral care, Joash gives us a fantastic book about Jesus-centered justice—both why it matters and how to practically implement it in our everyday lives. Highly recommend!

“Let me be clear: If the way we read the Bible produces poisonous fruit rather than the fruit of the Spirit, we are reading it wrong.”
Zach W. Lambert, Better Ways to Read the Bible: Transforming a Weapon of Harm into a Tool of Healing

“Jesus chastised folks who weaponized Scripture and elevated it above love of neighbor. He repeatedly denounced those who used sacred texts to divide rather than unite, incite violence rather than make peace, and exclude rather than include.”
Zach W. Lambert, Better Ways to Read the Bible: Transforming a Weapon of Harm into a Tool of Healing

“When it comes to those who have left the church as adults, only 9 percent say they are open to returning. But do you know what the percentage of LGBTQ+ folks who say they are open to coming back to church is? Seventy-six percent!26”

Goodreads Librari...: Duplicate Book & Remove Inaccurate Foreword Information 1 8 Feb 21, 2025 10:47AM  
“Rather than fearing that American racism would discredit the country globally, Falwell insisted that civil rights agitation was inspired by communist sympathizers. He saw Marxism at the root of the movement, not a Christian social justice tradition.”
Kristin Kobes Du Mez, Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation

“Shalom is what love looks like in the flesh. The embodiment of love in the context of a broken creation, shalom is a hint at what was, what should be, and what will one day be again. Where sin disintegrates and isolates, shalom brings together and restores. Where fear and shame throw up walls and put on masks, shalom breaks down barriers and frees us from the pretense of our false selves.”
Jamie Arpin-Ricci, Vulnerable Faith: Missional Living in the Radical Way of St. Patrick

“Let me be clear: If the way we read the Bible produces poisonous fruit rather than the fruit of the Spirit, we are reading it wrong.”

“Justice is divisive only to those benefitting from injustice.”
